What
happens when two guitar masters get together to record a new studio
album? The answer can be heard on the latest studio album from guitarist
Joe Beck, who recently joined forces with jazz guitar hero
John Abercrombie for the 2007 CD release of Coincidence.
Released by Whaling City Sound, Coincidence is a low key, intimate
sounding duets album that ably demonstrates why both players are renowned
by guitar fans as well as the list of luminaries theyve played
with, including giants like Larry Coryell, Ralph Towner and Gabor
Szabo. In depth liner notes accurately portray Beck and Abercrombie
as two guitarists with strong roots who are also at the vanguard of
modern jazz guitar. Filled with a dozen instrumental gems, Coincidence
makes a very impressive follow up to Becks acclaimed solo outing,
Tri07, released by Whaling City Sound in early 2007. Mixing classic
standards, blues and originals, Beck and Abercrombies Coincidence
is a sublime album of soft spoken guitar playing that speaks volumes
with each successive spin. www.whalingcitysound.com
